When bitter rivals Falkirk and Dunfermline meet at Hampden Park for the Scottish Cup semi-final, both clubs are experiencing historic turnarounds. Falkirk, under manager John McGlynn, has defied expectations with back-to-back league titles and a top-half Premiership finish, while Dunfermline aims to end a 14-year top-flight absence. The match carries immense significance: Falkirk seeks to reach a cup final for the first time since 1988, while Dunfermline, managed by Neil Lennon, hopes to secure a play-off spot and cement Lennon’s legacy as a cup-winning manager.
